Over the course of a one-hour solo performance, Ana Godefroy confronts questions of visibility and presence. Through intimate monologue, subtle shifts of tone and close audience interaction, the piece probes identity, the female gaze and the tension between being seen and remaining private. The staging favours confinement and immediacy, inviting reflection on twenty-seven years of self-questioning and the delicate politics of attention.

Led by singer-composer Arash Barez, the Aseman Ensemble blends Afghan and Japanese voices to reimagine tradition through contemporary sound.

Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art. Drawing on historical versions by the Ballets Russes, Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch and enriched with the voices of disabled poets from Serbia, Iran, Ukraine and the United States, the seven dancers invert the original narrative. The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.
Shyle Zalewski invites audiences into a two-part evening combining zine culture and an intimate concert. The first part presents a meeting and signing of self-published fanzines, foregrounding handwritten narratives and the DIY community around the artist. Later, under the alter ego edam edam, Zalewski offers a live set that blends fragile melodies and lo-fi textures, shifting the room from quiet reflection to charged immediacy. The night foregrounds intimacy, creative exchange, and the blurred line between reading and song.
